More power to 'em.  Whether they set up Denny's or not, if Denny's didn't
discriminate, they wouldn't have fallen into the trap.  

If the secret service did plan it, then I congratulate them on doing a
good service to the minorities by putting Denny's in check.

To say that fighting discrimination is wrong because reverse-
discrimination might occur is asanine.  You should fight all
discrimination, and if the system sets up reverse discrimination (like it
does so often), fight that too.  Both forms are clearly wrong, and I
protest both.  You're not helping anyone by supporting reverse-
discrimination the way you did in the above example.  By doing what you
did, you're saying that reverse discrimination is acceptible; okay by you.
